Stewart extends "Smoke Show" at TMS to two days

When NASCAR Sprint Cup star Tony Stewart held his "Smoke Show" fantasy racing camp at Texas Motor Speedway last year, it raised a single-day record $262,000 for the Speedway Children's Charities-Texas Chapter.

Stewart was so excited about the amount that he decided to aim for twice that amount this year. Instead of a one-day camp, the event will be two days and is scheduled for Aug. 4-5. Fans will be able to select either day for their racing experience, which includes pre-race ceremonies, driving Team Texas stock cars, riding with Stewart in his No. 14 Chevy and a Victory Lane celebration. The camp also includes a dinner and auction with Stewart on Aug. 4. Prices for the camp have not been set. Check back at the SCC Texas web site or www.texasmotorspeedway.com.
